"Drustan MacKellar is a yummy hero!"

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Kiss of the
Highlander by Karen Marie Moning (September 2001). When I
get an ARC this far out, I try to avoid discussing it
until the month prior to its release, but in this case, I
couldn't resist and wanted to share with you what I
thought. I have been a fan of Karen Moning since her first
book, Beyond the Highland Mist, and this book does not
disappoint. In my (humble) opinion, it is her best book
yet. I absolutely loved it!

Drustan MacKellar is rudely awakened from his enchanted
spell by Gwen Cassidy, who falls on top of him when she
plunges down a ravine in modern-day Scotland. He thinks
that she speaks and dresses oddly, but that doesn't stop
him from wanting her. When he finds out what's happened to
him, he enlists her aid in his efforts to return to his own
time.

There were a lot of twists and turns in the plot the kept
you guessing. She has a great way with words, and you can
just imagine yourself almost part of the scene she is
describing. Drustan MacKellar is a yummy hero!

A laird trapped between centuries...Enchanted by a powerful spell, Highland laird Drustan
MacKeltar slumbered for nearly five centuries hidden deep
in a cave, until an unlikely savior awakened him. The
enticing lass who dressed and spoke like no woman he’d ever
known was from his distant future, where crumbled ruins
were all that remained of his vanished world. Drustan knew
he had to return to his own century if he was to save his
people from a terrible fate. And he needed the bewitching
woman by his side....

A woman changed forever in his arms...Gwen Cassidy had come to Scotland to shake up her
humdrum life and, just maybe, meet a man. How could she
have known that a tumble down a Highland ravine would send
her plunging into an underground cavern — to land atop the
most devastatingly seductive man she’d ever seen? Or that
once he’d kissed her, he wouldn’t let her go?

Bound to Drustan by a passion stronger than time, Gwen is
swept back to sixteenth-century Scotland, where a
treacherous enemy plots against them ... and where a
warrior with the power to change history will defy time
itself for the woman he loves....Winner of the P.E.A.R.L. Award 2001 - Best Time Travel
